Pain
Reliever
Feverfew's
well established pain-relieving effects appear to be primarily
associated with its anti-inflammatory activity, inhibition of platelet
aggregation and regulation of smooth muscle function. Feverfew has been
used both traditionally and in scientific research as an effective
remedy for migraine headaches. It also shows benefit in helping reduce
arthritis pain.
Anti-inflammatory
Extracts
of feverfew have the ability to inhibit the manufacture of compounds
that promote inflammation, including inflammatory prostaglandins and
leukotrienes. Scientific evidence points to a measurable benefit in
treating arthritic inflammation.
Fever
Reducing
As
the name suggests, feverfew has been used as a traditional remedy for
lowering fevers - an effect primarily due to inhibiting the activity of
certain prostaglandins.
